Currently the federal estate tax exemption, the amount of an estate that can pass on to a family without being taxed (at the federal level), is $2,000,000. This is up from an estate gobbling $600,000 just 7 years ago.
Remember that a persons entire estate can pass tax free to their spouse, no matter how large it is. Estate taxes come due upon the death of the second spouse. This is the point at which many families see much of what their parents have accumulated gobbled up by the government, in many cases trashing a lifetime’s worth of work.
In 2009 the estate tax exemption will increase to $3,500,000 and in theory, if the congress doesn’t do anything to change the course of events, the federal estate tax will be gone in 2010. Two scenarios will play out at that point.
First, if the federal goverment actually lets the estate tax disappear, state governments stand poised to fill that void by increasing their state death tax limits. Many states have been raising their taxes

What kind of burden, may I ask?
“A chest,” he responded. “Filled with lost dreams.”
Have you not found the key to unlock it? I thought.
Before I could ask it of him, he said:
“I have many keys, but none can open this lock.”
Why not? I said with uncertainty.
“Because I do not know the correct key to use.
The lock changes so fast, I can’t keep up. Will you not try?”
Why think you I could do what you could not?
“Because you have seen The Old Lady Of The Tree and heard the voice of the Wolf. Your eye reveals it.”
She helped me find my way home once, I said, I have not encountered her again.
There are many things I have not seen an
Nobody has it easy today when it comes to being able to afford to live. The cost of living has risen dramatically in the last few years, and this was no more apparent than when the price of unleaded petrol rose to over £1 a gallon for the first time ever in November 2007. This is just one example of how inflation and rising taxes are beginning to affect every individual living up and down the country. However, what if an unexpected expense comes up? What if your car breaks down and cannot be fixed or a tree crashes through your roof? What happens if your kitchen is flooded? None of the previous examples would be covered by your car or home insurance company. You would therefore be responsible for footing the bill yourself. This is where low rate secured loans can really help you out. As long as you own your own home, you can find low rate secured loans that you can apply for in an emergency. Most providers will actively work to get the money to you as soon as possible when taking out
I’ve been asked to write a post on Chris Dodd once a week as part of the MyDD candidate series. I’m not affiliated with the Dodd campaign in any way, but you’ll be seeing a lot more about Dodd from me over the next few weeks. If you don’t like it, well tough.
Today, starting at around 10 am, the Senate Judiciary Committee will be revising and possibly voting on a new FISA law, as Matt Browner Hamlin previously mentioned. The issues at stake, as I’m sure you know, are twofold. First, Chris Dodd (and I) believes that there should be no immunity for lawbreaking telecom companies that spied on American citizens starting before 9/11. Folks, this is not about terrorism. Second, the FISA legislation in its current form allows the government to obtain “umbrella warrants,” which allow it to spy on a wide net of people. Dodd (and I) believe this is unconstitutional, going against 4th amendment rights barring unlawful search and seizure.
Just yesterday, w
To my brothers and sisters in the armed forces,
No doubt you've felt very proud today as friends, family, and others have thanked you for your service. I myself am very appreciative of the gratitude I've received. One thought that occurred to me is that one so honored must take special care to deserve it. Without getting specific, it's important for people in uniform to conduct themselves, both on and off the battlefield, in a manner meriting of praise.
That's all. Carry on.

Have you already eaten so much candy you’ve had enough epic sugar highs for one holiday season? Or maybe you’re already tired of your kids digging into their bounty of Halloween goodies and subsequently bouncing off the walls. Well, worry no more! There are plenty of ways to enjoy your leftover Halloween candy other than simply eating it. We tackled the leftover Halloween candy issue in 2005, but the Internet is always offering us new solutions.
A lot of people claim they throw away excess candy, but there’s no way you guys would do that. I mean, you wouldn’t be reading Candy Addict if you were the type of person who could just throw candy away, right? Try these ideas instead.
Donating is always a good thing. Why not donate your masses of leftover candy to a school, church, food bank or other organization that might possibly need candy?
HubPages suggests donating non-chocolate candy to soldiers serving in Iraq (or elsewhere) and creating collages, picture fra
I saw an article on CNN.com this morning about body burden testing and it was an eye opener. I didn't know anything about the industrial chemicals that could be lurking in our blood streams due to exposure to anything and everything in our homes and the polluted environment. Some could potentially cause some health problems. It's kind of scary.I can probably guess some of the chemicals in our bodies. Grace and I grew up in Southern California, so there's a whole laundry list of chemicals we absorbed from the smog. And living in Las Vegas, I know for sure that we have at least trace levels of uranium/ plutonium radiation. You can't have all the years of nuclear testing near the city without some exposure. We probably glow in our sleep. And I absolutely know for sure that we have ammonium perchlorate in our systems because it's in the water as a result of the Pepcon disaster back in the '80s. That's why we try to only drink bottled water. High levels of the chemical have been know
Contrary to popular belief, bigger doesn’t always mean better
The human body is at its best shape when everything is in balance. While some women would give up just about anything to have larger breasts, some well-endowed women wish to get rid of theirs to win back the proportionate torso.
Women with very large breasts may experience [...]
Johan Norberg asks a very sensible question in response to Conservative claims about happiness and wealth:A new report from Britain´s Tories claims that:"Beyond a certain point – a point which the UK reached some time ago – ever-increasing material gain can become not a gift, but a burden. As people, it makes us less happy"Where is that point? What level of wealth would the conservatives like to go back to? While they think about it, here is a graph of happiness and wealth around the world (from Angus Deaton (pdf), page 45).There are many arguments to be made for taxing the wealthy, but the claim that it makes them unhappy is ridiculous. Even if money did make an individual unhappy (which is appears not to), it is not the job of the State to decide it is "a burden." Individuals may choose to bear that burden. Presumably, since many people appear to enjoy being rich, money either makes one happier (as Norberg suggests) or many people enjoy the "burden." Either way, it is no busines
When your debts go beyond repaying reach then you should be taking necessary steps to curb them. Debt consolidation is one such way to be debt free earlier and smoothly. But it would be even better if instead of going for debt consolidation on your own, you take services of debt consolidation experts. This way you can be debt free smoothly. You can contact debt consolidation services providers on their websites. Just when you have made an application to them for debt consolidation, they will contact you and take charge of your debts. These services thus lighten your debt burden without your much involvement into it and save your time and money.Debt consolidation means all your unsecured debts are merged into single manageable low monthly payments. You can do it by taking another loan which may not be suitable for you considering your present weaker financial position. You would be repaying the loan installments and that will drain away much of your money. So if a new loan to repay debt
I admire the superb resolution Rudyard Kipling made in his poem entitled the White Man’s Burden though it somehow purports barbaric and brutal implication but nevertheless it stresses the significance over a certain country. Its paradigm depicts the imperialism within the U.S. It is the warfare between the Philippines and U.S that is, the subjugation and conquest of the Americans to the captives over the Spaniards, who are the Filipinos.Through a deep scrutiny, I have somehow grasped the picture how the Filipinos became so pathetic and suffered from the hands and unscrupulous tutelage of the Spaniards, since they became submissive and were treated as slaves. Their melancholic way of living and their passivity simply came to a halt until such time when the Americans emancipated the Filipinos from the vindictive Spaniards. The Americans fought the Spaniards and thus surrendered the prize (Filipinos) and wanted to dominate and colonize the Philippines. Here, the gist tells us that the m
Firdaus and I are excited, because we've finally managed to get our EE2007 mini lab project 2 completed! Wheee, @#*^!*#^ lab. Now the next one is a major lab project, and from the rumours I heard, we're supposed to make a client-server based game. Mmm something like Battleship, or Chess. And excuse me, in assembly language, not C/C++.
Oh man, this means more blood, sweat and tears?!
By the way, I've watched Heroes Season 2 premiere episode!! DAMN man, Maya's hawt! :D :D
